Wow, the first time with this new sail on the canal in real wind, I was asked by John Skye, the RRD saildesigner to push this 3 cam sail as hard as I could. He has one in Arinaga and I have one here, there are only made 2 so far, so all input is welcome.

On my first run I used my lightwind speed board(43cm) because I know this board for 7 years now and I took a symmetrical 20,5 Ultra Caspar that Casper "Alainized" for me a few years ago. I did a run with settings just put on gut feeling and pieked on the dispay a 46,07kts+

Damn, that must have been a fraction under my record from last sunday. Image If I had used my smaller one and the Asy fin, then I would have set a new Belgian record just on testing a sail.

I was on fire! but to bad this session was one to be in pretty gusty conditions, I went for the smaller board 2 runs later, but it was a lottery and because everybody was eager to do runs to be tuned up for tomorrow, we had a bit of a trafic jam at the start.

 

After 7-8 runs I called it a day(My GPS must have missed out on 2-3 run I believe, but I can check this tonight with the run details from the videotiming)

 

anyway I'm ready for tomorrow.
